LoA is a slippery slope. Be careful, by walking that path you can end up losing more than you think. The LoA does seem to work opposite for some, and this was proven with scientific testing. Creation is very powerful, and respect/knowledge is a must.

Gratitude for what we have is a virtue we all need to develop more of. Interestingly, the more gratutide, in the way of giving thanks for all that we have, actually brings about more blessings to for us.

Perhaps having gratitude keeps us in a positive state of mind & when we are generous & give to others, it completes the circle of giving & receiving.

perhaps they were saying a positive statement, but thinking"this doesnt work"which will negate the positive statement

It's not useless. I bet today of all days more than a few parents are thanking our creator right now for what they have..their children and aren't concerned at all as to things they might need. It's a good day today and everyday to be grateful and thank our creator.

Colossians 1: 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Interesting. Do you have any links?

It would kinda make sense to me. It seems that good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people. Those who screw people over seem to get ahead fast. I'm still trying to figure out the laws of the universe. There is something deeper we need to pay attention to. And the simple law of attraction does not work like the movie "secret" promised. Of it did, there wouldn't be so many books and shelters out there selling more law of attraction gimmicks.

Yes, the Secret is oversimplified commodified mass market garbage to make consumers feel good. But just like organized religion, there are grains of truth amongst the bullshit.

The reason LOA often works in opposite manner is because most people can only focus on their LACK of what they want rather than the feeling of ABUNDANCE that will attract their desires.

Even then, reality is more complex than any system can teach. Simply wishing for something is not enough.

The Bible says to give thanks, pray for others and pray for yourselves. God wants you to come to HIM to provide you with that which you need. Some people haven't been reading their Bibles apparently.

The bible was edited by kings, so they they could rule their enslaved masses with ease. I wouldn't give too much weight on the bible. Especially because most of the time there is a contradiction on the same fucking page.

The law of attraction has been in the public domain for at least 100 years. True, only a handful of people were aware of it. And then the movie "the secret" comes along to pad the pockets of smart business men.

Either way, us little people are NO better off since the movie. People are still scrambling trying to figure out what and how to use the Laws of the Universe. The only people benefiting from the laws of the universe are the "insiders," and they ain't gonna tell us sheep how the game gets won.

Therefore, the movie was just a diversion from a bigger truth.

Just focusing on (and feeling) abundance doesn't make you abundant.
